Pasha Cafe

Vinod Bhojani★★★★

Had a great time at Pasha Cafe, Taksim Square! Loved the sheesha/hookah, especially smooth and flavorful. Their pineapple juice was fresh and the potato fries were perfectly crispy. Cozy vibes and friendly staff, definitely worth a visit!

Pasha cafe is one of the best cafe and restaurants in Istanbul and minute walk from Taksim Istiklal street. Their kunefe (a middle estern dessert made with cheese) is to die for! Absolutely the best kunefe that we ever tasted. Their shisha is also very premium quality and last long. We also tried Latte, Mocca, Sahlep and fruity cocktails which were also very tasty! Shoutout to Pasha for his great hospitality and for his Taksim recommendations, we become regulars of this place for the total stay. Their washroom is always clean and very well kept. I highly recommend them.

SCAM WARNING: IDENTITY FRAUD! This place is a trap for tourists. A "friendly stranger" will approach you on Istiklal Street and bring you here. They use FAKE IDENTITIES—they might claim to be an engineer from Greece, a student from Germany, or a tourist from the UK. They offer Shisha here to test your trust, but their real goal is to lure you to a second bar where they will extort thousands of dollars from you. The 4.2 rating is fake and manipulated. DO NOT FOLLOW ANYONE TO THIS CAFE.

I had a very bad experience at Pasha Café. From the beginning, the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. We ordered shisha, but the flavor didn’t have any flavor at all — it was completely tasteless. When we mentioned this, instead of listening, the staff kept being rude. One of them even admitted that the taste was not there, but still insisted everything was fine. Very disappointing service and attitude. Definitely not recommended.
